Obvious defects will be noted and unless stated otherwise, all items are considered by us to be in at least good to very good condition.

Bids may be for any amount in whole pounds (pence will be ignored) and the highest bidder on any lot will be successful. The amount of the bid paid by the successful bidder, which will be at one bidding step above the previous highest bidder, will be determined by bid increments as defined in the following scale: Value of Bid Increment Value of Bid Increment Up to £10 £1 Between £100 and £500 £10 Between £10 and £30 £2 Between £500 and £1000 £20 Between £30 and £100 £5 Over £1000 £50 Please note that any bids received that do not conform to the increments shown in this table will be rounded up to the next legal bid above.

In this event, and unless we are instructed to the contrary, the order in which the bids are entered on the Bidding Form will be assumed to be the order of priority for the purpose of applying the overall limit. 6. If bidders wish to make conditional bids (e.g. if unsuccessful with Lot XX then please bid on Lot YY etc.), please append your instructions clearly on a separate sheet attached to the Bidding Form. Please note we cannot accept “accumulator” bids whereby the unspent portion of one bid is transferred to another to bolster that bid. 7.

There are two methods of payment: (i) You may enclose with the Bidding Form a signed cheque made payable to “Great Central Railwayana Auctions” (please do not abbreviate) with the amount left blank, and endorsed “Not To Exceed £XXX” where XXX is the total of all your bids (or your spending limit) plus 12% Buyer’s Premium (including VAT) and an allowance for packing and carriage.

    Collision. Wrawby Junction. 1983-12-09

    RAILWAY~NSPECTORATE DEPARTMENTOFTRANSPORT 2 MARSHAMSTREET LONDON SWIP 3EB 19th March 1985. I have the honour to report, for the information of the Secretary of State, in accordance with the Direc- tion of 21st December 1983 the result of my Inquiry into the collision between a freight train and apassenger train that occurred at about 18.18 on 9th December 1983 at Wrawby Junction, near Scunthorpe, in the Eastern Region of British Railways. 2. The 17.32 Cleethorpes to Sheffield 2-car Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) passenger train was travelling along the Down Fast lineat about 5 mile/h when it was struck about midway along the right-hand side of the leading carriage by Locomotive No. 47299 which was hauling the 15.02 Drax to Lindsey freight train compris- ing 9 empty oil tank wagons. Because a track-circuit failure prevented a set of points from operating and the protecting signals from clearing, the signalman had hand-cranked the points to the Normal position. He failed to clamp them Normal as he should have done. Both trains had been called forward under caution but the freight train driver failed to stop at the signal box. His train was diverted at low speed into the side of the passenger train through the points that had, in the meantime, reset themselves to the Reverse position. 3 The leading vehicle of the DMU was derailed and turned onto its side, the trailing vehicle was derailed but remainedupright. There were 1 I passengerson the DMU and1 regret to report that on'eof them was killed instantly, the Emergency Services were quickly at the scene and 3 others were taken to hospital 2 of whom were discharged after treatment.

Our Vision for the future For more than 50 years the Tramway Museum Society, from acquiring disused quarry premises at Crich for storing and operating tramcars, has grown to a very prestigious Nationally recognised Museum with a Designated Collection and which attracts around 100, 000 visitors each year. This has been achieved in many respects with a clear documented vision with regard to both the tramcar collection and the development of the Museum environment. The total commitment and passion to preserve and demonstrate function and form of tramcars by a core of volunteers has resulted in the creation of a street scene based visitor attraction. With this in mind the following vision has been defined: “To be the best heritage tramway experience in the world.” This vision will not be achieved without commitment and planning, significant time, money, and human endeavour being invested.
  • Railway Accident Investigation Unit Annual Report

    Railway Accident Investigation Unit Annual Report

    Railway Accident Investigation Unit Ireland Annual Report i 2018 Foreword The purpose of the Railway Accident Investigation Unit (RAIU) is to independently investigate occurrences on Irish railways with a view to establishing their cause/s and make safety recommendations to prevent their reoccurrence or otherwise improve railway safety. It is not the purpose of an investigation to attribute blame or liability. In 2018, fifty-two preliminary examination reports (PERs) were completed by the RAIU based on reports of incidents and accidents from Transdev and Iarnród Éireann (IÉ); including reports of: rolling stock faults; Road Rail Vehicle (RRV) occurrences; self-harm occurrences; earthworks failures; energy faults; tram and heavy rail derailments in depots; cattle strikes; tram road traffic collisions; fire; buffer stop collisions and one user worked level crossing collision accident. Of the fifty-two PERs, three full investigations into individual incidents/accidents that occurred on the IÉ network, namely: • Collision of an InterCity Railcar with a buffer stop at Laois Train Care Depot, 17th July 2018; • Wrongside Door Failure at Ashtown Station, 12th August 2018; • Vehicle struck by train at Cartron level crossing, XM220, Co. Mayo, 17th August 2018. In addition, a trend investigation into RRV incidents and accidents on the IÉ network was commenced, which includes the review of RRV occurrences from 2015 to 2018, inclusive. One investigation report was published in 2018, ‘Derailment of DART passenger service, at Points DL115, Dun Laoghaire, 13th September 2017’ resulting in a total of seven new safety recommendations being issued. The new recommendations related to: the training and competency of staff in terms of performance of duties and safety critical communications; management of major customer disruptions; the design and fitment of points clips; and, the placement of detonator protection.

    Trams in Brixton 1870 - 1951

    TRAMS IN BRIXTON 1870 - 1951 Horse Trams Two Acts of Parliament, passed in 1869 and 1870, empowered the Metropolitan Street Tramways Company to construct tramways from the Lambeth end of Westminster Bridge to Brixton and to Clapham. The company got to work quickly; they lost no time in laying down double tracks with rails level with the surface of the road. 2 May 1870 was an important day in Brixton's history. It was the day when the first authorised tramcars operated in London. 1 The new trams ran that day from the Horns Tavern in Kennington Road and along Brixton Road as far as its junction with Stockwell Road. The smart blue tramcars were hauled by two horses. Cars seated 22 persons inside and 24 on the open top deck. The passengers inside sat on red velvet cushions. For top deck passengers were two wooden benches running the length of the tram; these passengers faced outwards. Trams ran every five minutes. The normal fare was a penny a mile but Parliament had required special trams to be run for workmen in the morning and evenings at a halfpenny a mile.2 As soon as the 1870 Act was passed more track laying was rushed on with, and by the end of 1870 trams were in service from the Lambeth end of Westminster Bridge to St Matthew's church, Brixton, and another line ran along Clapham Road to the Swan at Stockwell. During 1871 tramcars had reached the Plough at Clapham, and the Brixton Line had been extended to the junction of Brixton Water Lane.

The publication of these contributions will help Londoners and their representatives to develop opinions based on well-researched information instead of speculation and prejudice. It was in this spirit that the Transport Committee of the Assembly hosted a seminar into trams, trolley buses and guided busways, with a view to informing ourselves and London about the proposals for tram and bus schemes that the Mayor is promoting through Transport for London. Peter Hendy provided a rapid but thorough overview of Transport for London’s policies, plans and programme in this area. Carmen Hass-Klau contrasted this with what is going on in continental Europe, looking at what London has to learn. She gave us a glimpse of tram projects in Nantes, Paris and Orleans, the Translohr rubber-tyred tram, and bus trains in Utrecht and Hamburg.
